SatechiMac Mini M4 Hub & Stand with NVMe SSD Enclosure, Dock with 2 USB-A 10Gbps, USB-A Data Port, SD Card Reader for Mac Mini M4, M4 Pro - Silver

I needed extra ports and extra storage, this provided a solution that fit with the Mac Mini perfectly. The 2TB SSD (sold separately) was simple to install. The quality is excellent, complimenting the Mac Mini. It makes turning the Mac Mini on a lot easier too.

This little hub is perfect device to add the extra storage and connectivity which is missing from the MAC mini. You can add extra storage move ssd reading the documentation has been tested 4TB but they believe it can go to 8tb but has not been tested or bench marked.The only thing for me if if it could have some USB and speaker point at the back. However this is just my preference. I have brought a 2TB SSD.’fitted all my required devices to it and with a built in memory SD reserve attaching another port.The price, well for what it dose, with very good build quality I would say well worth the money, and looks good with the Mac, without interference of the Mac performance

It appears to do what was described so far.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Lots of people bought this with an SSD which fits in it easily...sort of... bit fiddly with the heat strip. This increase Macmini from 540gb by 2TB! and it fits perfectively, looks great...

Fits perfectly with my new Mac Mini M4. I have added a 4TB SSD to store my photo library and everything works perfectly. Great to have a SD card reader and the three USB-A ports. Quality is brilliant and could pass for an Apple product.

Absolutely amazing docking station for the Mac Mini (M4). This thing is brilliant, great functionality and the NvME it gives the option of adding as by far (for me) the key feature. It is an attractive piece of hardware that perfectly matches with the Mac Mini… giving easier access to that controversial power button, not that many people ever actually switch off their Mac Mini (there really is not much point).Great features in terms of connectivity and fast USB ports which is a huge bonus. I fitted an NvME drive from a popular brand and have had no problems at all.Packaging was good, installation guide provided by video was very useful but installation of the NvME was simple and straightforward.Performance is great. Can’t fault this product.

An attractive looking hub designed to fit the Mac Mini 4. It features only three USB A ports and an SD card slot - for some reason all on the front - and costs £100. I have installed a 2TB Samsung SSD key in the slot under the hub. The hub seems to run very warm - about 38 degrees C although not actually being accessed. The SSD seems to stay quite cool but the front of the hub is very warm to the touch. I am concerned that when I put the Mac Mini on top the warm air will be drawn up into the computer and affect the performance. I have a much smaller and cheaper Lenovo USB-C hub which has 2 USB A ports, one USB C port, an SD card slot, a HDMI outlet and an ethernet port - much more than the Satechi hub. It is also of brushed aluminium and will sit nicely on top of the Mac Mini with a square of double sided tape. It also has the advantage of being able to be positioned with the ports (and therefore the cables) facing to the rear although of course this will make putting in an SD card more fiddly. I think that for the price the Satechi hub leaves much to be desired.

This is a useful addition to the Mac mini. I have one criticism - the Mac slides around all over it. I will get some double sided sticky pads to stop this but I'm sure it could have been designed better
